100% Inner Mongolian Cashmere Yarn Luxurious Hand Knitting Yarn Home Necessity for DIY Crafts

Good

Not quite as soft as the more expensive Cardiff Cashmere, but it performs well in that the scarf I knit from it is not scratchy around my neck. A lovely yarn.

I recently purchased this yarn and I couldn't be happier with it! It’s very thick, making it perfect for cozy projects. The texture is incredibly nice to touch, which adds to the overall experience of working with it. Whether you're knitting, this yarn has a wonderful, comforting feel that I love. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to create warm and inviting pieces!

This is very workable at first, then the strands separate and it becomes apparent that the 3-ply wasn’t twisted together well enough. It knits more like when you combine fine strands from multiple balls than like a normal yarn. You can see how the strands separate in the 1st photo. The poor twist makes it very easy to split the yarn as you transition between knit & purl.It is also not nearly as soft as I expected.Softness, I would give it a 4 of 5. Softer than wool, but not as soft as the 100% cashmere sweaters I have purchased.Once knitted up (size 4 needles) it has a look more similar to superwash merino than cashmere. (2nd photo).Given the price, it’s fine, but as I start into the 5th ball on this blanket, the split strands are getting annoying. I had planned to make the coordinating sweater, but I don’t think I have the patience to deal with this yarn for a second project.UPDATE: Now that the blanket is finished, hand washed (cashmere/gentle soap), blocked & dried flat … I have to say I’m disappointed in the texture. Despite the manufacturer’s statement that the yarn will get softer with washing, it simply isn’t as soft as other cashmere yarns I have worked with. Frustrating to have put so much time & energy into a baby blanket and have the finished item not very soft/cuddly. After washing, I’d give the softness a 3 out of 5. I’m currently working on a baby hat with a cashmere/merino blend that is significantly softer.Project: Cashmere Deluxe Blanket, Knitting for Baby (fantastic knitting book by Melanie Falick & Kristin Nicholas).

The media could not be loaded. The yarn is super soft and one of the cheaper priced cashmere yarn. I made a beautiful, thick cashmere infinity scarf out of it. Only thing is the yarn is thin so I had to double up when crocheting

Good yarn but when I need more of it in the middle of a project, it's out of stock

I always wanted to make something with cashmere, so this Christmas Santa brought me this 100% cashmere yarn from Gisimo. Ravelry shows some hat and scarf projects in this yarn - not much. I chose a scarf because it is unlikely to need to be washed frequently, it doesn’t require as much yarn as a sweater, and I would get to feel the cashmere against my skin.The yarn weight is somewhere between fingering and DK. The scarf I chose is called Architexture by Jennifer Weissman.The yarn is well made - so far I have run into just 1 knot in each of the two skeins I have used. It is strong as well as soft. The only downside is the requirement to “Hand wash. Dry flat.”

I bought this yarn to repair my favorite cashmere poncho. It's a tricky fix and I've had to split the yarn's ply to make it work but so far so good. The cashmere is of good quality.
